Was on the way home from punchestown today and bout 15 miles from home the car started acting up. Was travelling at normal speed (bout 100km) and when I tried to accelerate the car seemed to stutter and didnt increase speed.
Nursed it along as was on a bendy stretch with nowhere to pull over. Tried accelerating again and it kept stuttering and then started chucking along slowing itself down with accelerater down. so pulled over at first chance and turned car off and rang for a toe to the house.
While waiting i thought id check to see if any visible fault with vacuum hoses but couldnt see anything. then tried starting it but it started for maybe 3 or 4 seconds and then cut itself out. tried starting again and engine was turning over but wouldnt fire.
What can be causing such a sudden problem??? Coil pack? Fuel pump? Any help appreciated.
Thanks
